GameCube Backup Launcher 0.1 Xi

[seangibbz]

Would you be able to use this version to load a GC-based emulator? Like, if you followed the following format:

1. You downloaded the emulator (ex. mupen64gc.dol)
2. You make it into a bootable GC disc with BootableDisc.
3. You take the Rom files (ex. Mario.z64, Yoshi.z64, and Kirby.z64) and burn them all to a dvd image. (iso) using an image recorder in a burning program (ex. Nero)
4. You take both ISO files (The emulator one and the one with the ROMs), and you put them together with GCOS MultiGame.

I'm trying it now (on a rewritable dvd) and I'll post my findings.

FAIL! I tried making a 'bootable' GC disc, but it won't work. It doesn't create an acurate GC disc image. My only other hope is to maybe take a GC image file I have already have (I think maybe I'll try the GC-Linux tools one), and replace the dol. I'll update.

Failed again

The mupen64 dol file is larger than the original one in the iso so it won't work. I don't really have extensive knowledge of modifying GC ISO's either. I tried right-clicking the default.dol file and setting replace. I then switched it with the mupen64gc.dol but then it said something about the TOC or some stupid stuff like that, so I'm not sure if it will work. I'll keep trying my other ISO files, hopefully one will have an initial dol file, larger than mupen64gc.

great! thx wiigator

anyone know if pokemon box works?

Quick question,

Is there any way to cheat in GC games with this?
I know you can reboot to use Wii Backup Launcher but I don't know if the built in Ocarina will support the GC games if done in that method.

 

[Buzbee]

You can use a backup copy of an AR disc to cheat on original GC games. For backups, see my post near the bottom of page 5 of this thread. I'm trying to figure out what to patch on the AR iso to get it to work with backups. You'll need to know how to use a hex editor and have a few discs ready (maybe for coasters)

Would MGS Twin Snakes work if I burned both discs onto the same multigame dvd-r?

 

[joda]

Would MGS Twin Snakes work if I burned both discs onto the same multigame dvd-r?

Most probably. At least disc one works good for me when booting Xi with B-button.

It should... the way I think it works is...
Start launcher, go to 2nd disc by pressing left/right. hit 'Z'. go back to first disc and start with 'B'
When you get to the part when you have to switch discs, Hold 'Z' and eject, then reinsert disc.

I don't have any 2 disc games to test with ATM, so can't say for sure.

Having an issue with Baten Kaitos. Namely, freezes shortly after entering or leaving the map. Eternal darkness doesn't boot if shrunk :< All on a multi-disk. All not shrunk.

 

[Daviex]

Not go with Metal Gear, Insert Disc 2 and the game not continue *_*

 

[scognito]

Just to report, crazy taxy and 1080 works (iso with patched sound) but music doesn't work.

 

[Prisoner]

yessss....Eternal Darkness now works flawlessly....

mmmh...but Spawn Armageddon NTSC still has that "slo-mo" issue.....

Not go with Metal Gear, Insert Disc 2 and the game not continue *_*

did you push B button to launch the game?

 

[davidsl_128]

Still waiting for a solution to the gamesave problem ... more and more people are having it.

This happens only with the games that needed the mIOS patch (press B), or it also happens with games that didn´t need it (press A)?

 

[SuperJay]

Will putting Tales of Symphonia on one disk work now, or should I just burn them on two seperate disk?

 

[Golfman560]

Use one disc, its easier then trying to get the second disc to load properly.

I have a question, with the original theta release I installed wanin's cMIOS (rev1). Do I have to uninstall it and install the one provided with this release or am I still good to go.

 

[Golfman560]

Well if you use Wanin's cMIOS I'd install rev3 of it since it has a fex fixes. However if you use the RunGCbakups app from the HBC then all you need is the new application.

 

[Buzbee]

You should install this version if you want to use it through disk channel. If you are just using it through HBC then leave it alone. You could be using wanikoko's rev3 now. Note that Wiigator has the option of installing on mios v4, v5,or v8. Waninkoko's is only v8. Mios v4 is the only one compatible with GC action replay and other datel discs.

Well if you use Wanin's cMIOS I'd install rev3 of it since it has a fex fixes. However if you use the RunGCbakups app from the HBC then all you need is the new application.

I just run the app from th HBC or from a costum channel, but thanks for the info, I'll go and take a look at rev3 just in case something doesn't work.

 

[davidsl_128]

Yes it does.

Yay

 

[scousethief]

are there any apps that allow gamecube games to be run from sdcard/usb memory ?? eg put the iso on the sd and play from there ?.
